Description

本発明は、木材を所定の三次元形状に圧縮成形された圧縮木製品の製造方法、および圧縮木製品に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a compressed wood product obtained by compression-molding wood into a predetermined three-dimensional shape, and a compressed wood product.

近年、自然素材である木材が注目されている。木材はさまざまな木目を有するため、原木から形取る箇所に応じて個体差が生じ、その個体差が製品ごとの個性となる。また、長期の使用によって生じる傷や色合いの変化自体も、独特の風合いとなって使用者に親しみを生じさせることがある。これらの理由により、合成樹脂や軽金属を用いた製品にはない、個性的で味わい深い製品を生み出すことの出来る素材として木材が注目されており、その成形技術も飛躍的に進歩しつつある。   In recent years, natural wood has attracted attention. Since wood has various grain patterns, individual differences occur depending on the location of the raw wood, and the individual differences are the individuality of each product. In addition, scratches and changes in color caused by long-term use may also have a unique texture and may be familiar to the user. For these reasons, wood is attracting attention as a material that can produce unique and tasty products that are not found in products using synthetic resins and light metals, and its molding technology is also making rapid progress.

従来より、木材の圧縮成形技術として、軟化処理した状態で圧縮した1枚の木材を仮固定し、この木材を型に入れて回復させることによって三次元形状を有する木材を成形する技術が知られている(例えば、特許文献1を参照)。この技術では、まず木材を軟化させた状態で木材を圧縮して仮固定を行う。その後、仮固定した木材をスライスした板材を金型にセットし、高圧水蒸気内で再度板材を軟化させ、曲げ処理を行なう。続いて、曲げ処理を行なった湾曲状の部材を再度金型にセットして再び軟化させ、プレス機によってプレスすることにより、最終形状を得る。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as wood compression molding technology, a technology has been known in which a single piece of wood compressed in a softened state is temporarily fixed, and this wood is molded and recovered to form a three-dimensional wood. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). In this technique, first, the wood is compressed and temporarily fixed in a softened state. Thereafter, a plate material obtained by slicing the temporarily fixed wood is set in a mold, the plate material is softened again in high-pressure steam, and a bending process is performed. Subsequently, the curved member that has been subjected to the bending process is set again on the mold, softened again, and pressed by a press to obtain a final shape.

また、別な木材の圧縮成形技術として、抗膨潤能(ASE)を向上させることによって寸法安定性が向上した木材を製造するために、木材に蒸気加熱加圧処理を施した後、二次工程としてその木材に加熱加圧処理を行う技術が知られている(例えば、特許文献2を参照)。この技術では、実施例として、平板状の木材に対して加熱加圧処理を行うことにより、その木材の寸法安定性が向上することの記載がなされている。   In addition, as another compression molding technique for wood, in order to produce wood with improved dimensional stability by improving anti-swelling ability (ASE), the wood is subjected to steam heating and pressure treatment, followed by a secondary process. The technique which heat-presses the wood is known (for example, refer patent document 2). In this technology, as an example, it is described that the dimensional stability of the wood is improved by performing heat and pressure treatment on the flat wood.

上述した圧縮成形技術を用いることにより、例えば主面が略長方形をなす平板状の主板部と、この主板部の周縁部から湾曲して立ち上がる側板部とを備え、開口を有する箱状をなす圧縮木製品を形成することができる(例えば、特許文献3を参照)。この技術では、圧縮によって予め減少する分の容積を加えた容積を有し、成形後の形状とは異なる箱状をなすブランク材を、一対の金型を用いて圧縮成形している。   By using the compression molding technique described above, for example, a flat main plate portion whose main surface is substantially rectangular, and a side plate portion that curves and rises from the peripheral edge of the main plate portion, and has a box shape with an opening. A wooden product can be formed (see, for example, Patent Document 3). In this technique, a blank material having a volume added in advance by compression and having a box shape different from the shape after molding is compression-molded using a pair of molds.

ところで、箱状をなす圧縮木製品を成形する場合、強度面を考慮して、主板部の長手方向と木材の繊維方向が略平行となるようにすることが多い。しかしながら、主板部の長手方向と木材の繊維方向が略平行となるように形取る場合、側板部の中にはその肉厚方向が木材の繊維方向と略平行となる部分が生じる。この部分では、木材の繊維の長さが短いため、圧縮時に、隣接して延びる木材の繊維同士を引き裂く方向に曲げ応力が作用すると割れが発生してしまう可能性が高かった。また、たとえ圧縮によって割れが発生しなくても、木材の繊維の長さが短いために圧縮後に適切な強度を付与することができないおそれもあった。   By the way, in the case of forming a compressed wooden product having a box shape, the longitudinal direction of the main plate portion and the fiber direction of the wood are often made substantially parallel in consideration of strength. However, when the main plate portion is shaped so that the longitudinal direction of the main plate portion and the fiber direction of the wood are substantially parallel to each other, a portion of the side plate portion whose thickness direction is substantially parallel to the fiber direction of the wood is generated. In this portion, the length of the wood fibers is short, so that when the bending stress is applied in the direction of tearing the adjacent wood fibers extending at the time of compression, there is a high possibility that the crack will occur. In addition, even if no cracking occurs due to compression, there is a possibility that an appropriate strength cannot be imparted after compression due to the short fiber length of the wood.

本発明は、上記に鑑みてなされたものであって、開口を有する箱状のブランク材を成形する際に割れを発生することがなく、成形後に適切な強度を付与することができる圧縮木製品の製造方法および圧縮木製品を提供することを目的とする。   This invention is made | formed in view of the above, Comprising: It does not generate | occur | produce a crack at the time of shape | molding the box-shaped blank material which has an opening, The compression wooden product which can provide appropriate intensity | strength after shaping | molding An object is to provide a manufacturing method and a compressed wood product.

Note that the drawings referred to in the following description are schematic, and when the same object is shown in different drawings, dimensions, scales, and the like may be different.

図1は、本発明の一実施の形態に係る圧縮木製品の製造方法の処理の概要を示すフローチャートである。図1において、まずブランク材を形成する(ステップS1)。図2は、ブランク材形成工程の概要を模式的に示す図である。ブランク材形成工程では、無圧縮状態にある無垢材などの原木1からブランク材2を切削等によって形取る。   FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing an outline of processing of a compressed wood product manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a blank material is first formed (step S1). FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing an outline of the blank material forming step. In the blank material forming step, the blank material 2 is formed by cutting or the like from the raw wood 1 such as a solid material in an uncompressed state.

図3は、ブランク材2の構成を示す斜視図である。図4は、図3の矢視A方向の平面図である。なお、図4では、ブランク材2の木目Gを省略している。ブランク材2は、略長方形の主面を有する平板状の主板部21と、主板部21の周縁から主板部21に対して斜め方向に湾曲して延在し、周回する開口端面を有する側板部22とを備えた箱状をなす。ブランク材2の繊維方向Lは、主板部21の主面の外縁をなす略長方形の四辺(二つの長辺21aおよび二つの短辺21b)とそれぞれ交差するとともに、側板部22の端面の略全周にわたって該端面の厚さ方向(例えば図4のT1〜T4)と交差する。側板部22は、互いに平行な二つの長辺21aの各々から延在する二つの第1側板部22aと、互いに平行な二つの短辺21bの各々から延在する二つの第2側板部22bとを備える。なお、ここでいう略長方形には、長方形から若干ゆがんだ平行四辺形や正方形に近い形状も含まれるものとする。   FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the blank 2. 4 is a plan view in the direction of arrow A in FIG. In FIG. 4, the grain G of the blank 2 is omitted. The blank 2 is a flat main plate portion 21 having a substantially rectangular main surface, and a side plate portion having an opening end surface that extends from the periphery of the main plate portion 21 in an oblique direction with respect to the main plate portion 21 and circulates. 22 and a box shape. The fiber direction L of the blank 2 intersects each of the substantially rectangular four sides (two long sides 21a and two short sides 21b) forming the outer edge of the main surface of the main plate portion 21, and substantially the entire end surface of the side plate portion 22. It intersects with the thickness direction of the end face (for example, T1 to T4 in FIG. 4) over the circumference. The side plate portion 22 includes two first side plate portions 22a extending from each of the two long sides 21a parallel to each other, and two second side plate portions 22b extending from each of the two short sides 21b parallel to each other. Is provided. Note that the substantially rectangular shape here includes parallelograms slightly distorted from the rectangle and shapes close to a square.

以上の構成を有するブランク材2では、主板部21から側板部22にかけて木材の繊維がつながる。また、ブランク材2では、側板部22のほぼ全域にわたって木材の繊維の長さが側板部22の肉厚よりも長い。特に、ブランク材2の繊維方向Lが主板部21の長辺21aとなす角度をθ1とする一方、主板部21の短辺21bとなす角度をθ2とすると、θ1、θ2がそれぞれ30度以上60度以下であれば、側板部22の各部分における肉厚とその部分を通る木材の繊維長さとの比のバラツキを抑制することができるため、より好ましい。 In the blank material 2 having the above configuration, wood fibers are connected from the main plate portion 21 to the side plate portion 22. Further, in the blank material 2, the length of the wood fiber is longer than the thickness of the side plate portion 22 over almost the entire area of the side plate portion 22. In particular, assuming that the angle between the fiber direction L of the blank 2 and the long side 21a of the main plate portion 21 is θ 1 and the angle between the short side 21b of the main plate portion 21 is θ 2 , θ 1 and θ 2 are respectively If it is 30 degrees or more and 60 degrees or less, since the dispersion | variation in the ratio of the thickness in each part of the side-plate part 22 and the fiber length of the wood which passes through the part can be suppressed, it is more preferable.

次に、ブランク材2を、高温高圧の水蒸気雰囲気中で所定時間放置して、ブランク材2を軟化させる(ステップS2)。この水蒸気雰囲気は、圧力が0.1〜0.8MPa程度であり、温度が100〜170℃程度である。このような水蒸気雰囲気は、圧力容器を用いることによって実現される。圧力容器を用いる場合には、上記水蒸気雰囲気を有する圧力容器の中にブランク材2を放置することによって軟化させればよい。なお、高温高圧の水蒸気雰囲気中でブランク材2を軟化させる代わりに、マイクロ波によってブランク材2を加熱して軟化させてもよい。またブランク材2を煮沸して軟化させてもよい。   Next, the blank material 2 is left for a predetermined time in a high-temperature and high-pressure steam atmosphere to soften the blank material 2 (step S2). This steam atmosphere has a pressure of about 0.1 to 0.8 MPa and a temperature of about 100 to 170 ° C. Such a water vapor atmosphere is realized by using a pressure vessel. In the case of using a pressure vessel, the blank material 2 may be left softened in the pressure vessel having the water vapor atmosphere. Instead of softening the blank material 2 in a high-temperature and high-pressure steam atmosphere, the blank material 2 may be heated and softened by microwaves. Further, the blank material 2 may be boiled and softened.

この後、軟化させたブランク材2を圧縮する(ステップS3)。この工程では、軟化工程と同じ水蒸気雰囲気中で一対の金型を用いてブランク材2を挟持して圧縮力を加えることにより、ブランク材2を軟化工程前とは異なる箱状に変形させる。圧力容器の中でブランク材2を軟化させた場合には、引き続きその圧力容器の中でブランク材2を圧縮すればよい。   Thereafter, the softened blank 2 is compressed (step S3). In this step, the blank material 2 is deformed into a box shape different from that before the softening step by sandwiching the blank material 2 using a pair of molds in the same steam atmosphere as the softening step and applying a compressive force. When the blank material 2 is softened in the pressure vessel, the blank material 2 may be subsequently compressed in the pressure vessel.

図5は、圧縮工程の概要を示すとともに、圧縮工程で使用する金型の要部の構成を示す図である。図6は、図5のB−B線断面図である。図5および図6に示すように、ブランク材2は、一対の凹金型101、凸金型102によって挟持され、所定の圧縮力が加えられる。   FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an outline of the compression process and a configuration of a main part of a mold used in the compression process. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the blank material 2 is sandwiched between a pair of concave mold 101 and convex mold 102, and a predetermined compression force is applied.

圧縮工程の際にブランク材2の上方から圧縮力を加える凹金型101は、ブランク材2の突出している外側面に当接する平滑面を有する凹部111を備える。主板部21から第1側板部22aにかけて湾曲する部分の表面であって凹金型101と対向する側の表面の曲率半径をROとし、この表面に当接する凹部111の表面の曲率半径をRAとすると、二つの曲率半径RO、RAは、RO>RAという関係を満たす。   The concave mold 101 that applies a compressive force from above the blank material 2 in the compression step includes a concave portion 111 having a smooth surface that comes into contact with the protruding outer surface of the blank material 2. The curvature radius of the surface of the portion curved from the main plate portion 21 to the first side plate portion 22a and facing the concave mold 101 is RO, and the curvature radius of the surface of the concave portion 111 in contact with this surface is RA. Then, the two radii of curvature RO and RA satisfy the relationship RO> RA.

一方、圧縮工程の際にブランク材2の下方から圧縮力を加える凸金型102は、ブランク材2の窪んでいる内側面に当接する平滑面を有する凸部121を備える。主板部21から側板部22aにかけて湾曲する部分の表面であって凸金型102と対向する側の表面の曲率半径をRIとし、この表面に当接する凸部121の表面の曲率半径をRBとすると、二つの曲率半径RI、RBは、RI>RBという関係を満たす。   On the other hand, the convex mold 102 for applying a compressive force from the lower side of the blank material 2 in the compression step includes a convex portion 121 having a smooth surface that comes into contact with the concave inner surface of the blank material 2. Let RI be the curvature radius of the surface of the portion that curves from the main plate portion 21 to the side plate portion 22a and face the convex mold 102, and let RB be the curvature radius of the surface of the convex portion 121 that contacts this surface. The two radii of curvature RI and RB satisfy the relationship RI> RB.

図7は、圧縮工程において、凹金型101および凸金型102によってブランク材2が挟持されて所定の圧力が加えられた状態を示す図であり、ブランク材2の変形がほぼ完了した状態を示す図である。図7に示す状態で、ブランク材2は、凹金型101および凸金型102から圧縮力を受けることにより、凹金型101と凸金型102が最接近した状態で凹部111および凸部121が形成する隙間に相当する形状、すなわち軟化工程前とは異なる箱状に変形する。この隙間形状は、後述する加熱整形工程(ステップS6)を経て得られる形状と略相似する形状をなしている。   FIG. 7 is a view showing a state in which the blank material 2 is sandwiched between the concave mold 101 and the convex mold 102 and a predetermined pressure is applied in the compression step, and the deformation of the blank material 2 is almost completed. FIG. In the state shown in FIG. 7, the blank 2 receives the compressive force from the concave mold 101 and the convex mold 102, so that the concave mold 111 and the convex section 121 are in a state where the concave mold 101 and the convex mold 102 are closest to each other. Is deformed into a box shape different from that before the softening step. This gap shape is substantially similar to the shape obtained through the heating shaping step (step S6) described later.

以上説明した圧縮工程において、側板部22は、主板部21から立ち上がる角度が圧縮後に大きくなる方向へ曲げられる。この際には、側板部22の外周面において、隣接して延びる繊維同士を引き裂くような力が加わるが、ブランク材2における繊維は、側板部22のほぼ全域にわたって側板部22の厚さ方向と交差しているため、繊維が側板部の厚さ方向と平行な場合と比較して、隣接する繊維同士が引き裂かれにくい。したがって、ブランク材2においては、圧縮工程において割れを生じる可能性が小さい。   In the compression step described above, the side plate portion 22 is bent in a direction in which the angle rising from the main plate portion 21 increases after compression. At this time, a force is applied on the outer peripheral surface of the side plate portion 22 so as to tear the adjacently extending fibers, but the fibers in the blank material 2 are substantially in the thickness direction of the side plate portion 22 over almost the entire area of the side plate portion 22. Since they intersect, adjacent fibers are less likely to be torn compared to when the fibers are parallel to the thickness direction of the side plate portion. Therefore, in the blank material 2, there is little possibility of causing a crack in the compression process.

圧縮工程が終了した後、凹金型101および凸金型102によってブランク材2を挟持したままの状態で、上述した水蒸気雰囲気よりもさらに高温高圧の水蒸気雰囲気を凹金型101および凸金型102の周囲に形成することにより、ブランク材2の形状を固定化する(ステップS4)。このときの水蒸気雰囲気は、圧力が0.6〜3.4MPa程度であるとともに、温度が160〜240℃程度であり、圧縮工程における水蒸気雰囲気よりも高温高圧となるように定められる。この固定化処理を圧力容器中で行う場合には、軟化工程における容器内圧力を上述した範囲に含まれる値とすればよい。   After the compression process is completed, in a state where the blank material 2 is sandwiched between the concave mold 101 and the convex mold 102, a steam atmosphere at a higher temperature and pressure than the above-described water vapor atmosphere is applied to the concave mold 101 and the convex mold 102. The shape of the blank material 2 is fixed by forming it around (step S4). The steam atmosphere at this time has a pressure of about 0.6 to 3.4 MPa and a temperature of about 160 to 240 ° C., and is determined to be higher in temperature and pressure than the steam atmosphere in the compression step. When this immobilization process is performed in a pressure vessel, the pressure in the vessel in the softening step may be set to a value included in the above-described range.

続いて、凹金型101、凸金型102、およびブランク材2を大気中へ放出し、ブランク材2を乾燥させる(ステップS5)。この際には、凹金型101と凸金型102を離間することによってブランク材2の乾燥を促進するようにしてもよい。乾燥工程後の主板部21の肉厚は、圧縮工程前の主板部21の厚さの20〜50%程度であるのが好ましい。ここで、乾燥工程後のブランク材をブランク材12と称すると、ブランク材12は、厚さに若干のバラツキを有している可能性がある。そのため、本実施の形態においては、ブランク材12の肉厚の最小値が、後述する加熱整形工程後の形状における肉厚以上となるように設定されることが望ましい。   Subsequently, the concave mold 101, the convex mold 102, and the blank material 2 are discharged into the atmosphere, and the blank material 2 is dried (step S5). In this case, the drying of the blank material 2 may be promoted by separating the concave mold 101 and the convex mold 102. The thickness of the main plate portion 21 after the drying step is preferably about 20 to 50% of the thickness of the main plate portion 21 before the compression step. Here, if the blank material after a drying process is called the blank material 12, the blank material 12 may have a slight variation in thickness. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is desirable that the minimum value of the thickness of the blank material 12 is set to be equal to or greater than the thickness in the shape after the heating shaping process described later.

乾燥工程の後、大気中でブランク材12を加熱しながらブランク材12と略相似する形状に整形する(ステップS6)。図8は、この加熱整形工程の概要を模式的に示す図である。加熱整形工程では、一対の加熱整形用凹金型201および加熱整形用凸金型202を用いてブランク材12を挟持することにより、ブランク材12を整形する。   After the drying process, the blank material 12 is shaped into a shape substantially similar to the blank material 12 while being heated in the air (step S6). FIG. 8 is a diagram schematically showing an outline of this heat shaping step. In the heating shaping step, the blank material 12 is shaped by sandwiching the blank material 12 using a pair of the heating shaping concave mold 201 and the heating shaping convex mold 202.

図8でブランク材12の上方に位置する加熱整形用凹金型201は、ブランク材12の突出している側の表面に当接する平滑面を有する凹部211を備える。一方、図8でブランク材12の下方に位置する加熱整形用凸金型202は、ブランク材12の窪んでいる側の表面に当接する平滑面を有する凸部221を備える。   The heating shaping concave mold 201 located above the blank member 12 in FIG. 8 includes a concave portion 211 having a smooth surface that abuts the surface of the blank member 12 on the protruding side. On the other hand, the heating shaping convex mold 202 located below the blank member 12 in FIG. 8 includes a convex portion 221 having a smooth surface that comes into contact with the surface of the blank member 12 on the depressed side.

図9に示すように、加熱整形用凹金型201と加熱整形用凸金型202を型締めしたときに凹部211と凸部221によって形成される隙間の形状は、ブランク材12を加熱整形した後に得られるべき最終形状に対応している。この最終形状の容積は、加熱整形工程によって減少する分だけブランク材12の容積よりも小さい。なお、加熱整形工程後のブランク材12の形状は、最終形状と一致することが望ましいが、個々のブランク材12には個体差があるため、最終形状とは若干の誤差が生じる場合もある。   As shown in FIG. 9, when the concave mold 201 for heat shaping and the convex mold 202 for heat shaping are clamped, the shape of the gap formed by the concave portion 211 and the convex portion 221 is obtained by heating and shaping the blank 12. It corresponds to the final shape to be obtained later. The volume of this final shape is smaller than the volume of the blank 12 by the amount reduced by the heat shaping process. It is desirable that the shape of the blank material 12 after the heat shaping process is the same as the final shape, but since there are individual differences between the individual blank materials 12, there may be some errors from the final shape.

加熱整形用凹金型201および加熱整形用凸金型202の内部には、熱を発生するヒータ203、204がそれぞれ設けられている。ヒータ203、204は、温度制御機能を有する制御装置205にそれぞれ接続されており、制御装置205のもとで発熱し、加熱整形用凹金型201および加熱整形用凸金型202にそれぞれ熱を加える。制御装置205は、ブランク材12を挟持している時の金型温度を、木質部の非結晶領域が結晶化する温度以上であって木質部の熱分解温度以下となるように制御する。   Heaters 203 and 204 for generating heat are provided inside the heating shaping concave mold 201 and the heating shaping convex mold 202, respectively. The heaters 203 and 204 are respectively connected to a control device 205 having a temperature control function. The heaters 203 and 204 generate heat under the control device 205, and respectively heat the heating shaping concave mold 201 and the heating shaping convex mold 202. Add. The control device 205 controls the mold temperature when the blank material 12 is sandwiched so as to be equal to or higher than the temperature at which the amorphous region of the wooden part is crystallized and lower than the thermal decomposition temperature of the wooden part.

このようにして、制御装置205が金型温度を制御することにより、加熱整形工程の最中に木質部の結晶化が進むと同時に木質部の密度が一段と高くなるため、木質部の表面硬度が増加する。その結果、吸湿がなく形状安定性に優れた圧縮木製品を得ることができる。   In this way, the control device 205 controls the mold temperature, so that the crystallization of the wood part proceeds during the heating shaping process and at the same time the density of the wood part further increases, so that the surface hardness of the wood part increases. As a result, a compressed wood product having no moisture absorption and excellent shape stability can be obtained.

また、ブランク材12の表面を大気中で加熱整形することにより、木質部の細胞壁の内部に含まれている物質が表面に抽出され、その表面に色、艶が生じる。その結果、木材ならではの独特の風合いを醸し出すことができる。   In addition, by subjecting the surface of the blank 12 to heat shaping in the atmosphere, substances contained in the cell walls of the woody part are extracted to the surface, and color and gloss are generated on the surface. As a result, a unique texture unique to wood can be created.

ところで、加熱整形用凹金型201の凹部211と対向するブランク材12の外側表面に整形代を設ける一方、加熱整形用凸金型202の凸部221の形状を図5等に示す凸金型102の凸部121の形状と等しくすれば、加熱整形時にブランク材12の外側表面に働く引っ張り力を極力抑えることができる。したがって、この場合には、加熱整形時におけるブランク材12の表面の割れ等を一段と確実に防止することができる。   By the way, while providing a shaping allowance on the outer surface of the blank 12 facing the concave portion 211 of the heating shaping concave mold 201, the shape of the convex portion 221 of the heating shaping convex mold 202 is shown in FIG. If it is made equal to the shape of the convex part 121 of 102, the tensile force which acts on the outer surface of the blank material 12 at the time of heat shaping can be suppressed as much as possible. Therefore, in this case, cracking of the surface of the blank 12 at the time of heat shaping can be more reliably prevented.

図10は、以上説明した圧縮木製品の製造方法によって製造された圧縮木製品の構成を示す斜視図である。同図に示す圧縮木製品3は、ブランク材2の主板部21に対応し、略長方形の主面を有する平板状の主板部31と、側板部22に対応し、主板部31の周縁から該主板部31に対して斜め方向に湾曲して延在する側板部32とを有する。側板部32は、ブランク材2の第1側板部22aおよび第2側板部22bにそれぞれ対応する第1側板部32aおよび第2側板部32bを有する。圧縮木製品3は、圧縮工程前のブランク材2よりも容積が小さく、ブランク材2とは異なる箱状をなしている。   FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a configuration of a compressed wood product manufactured by the above-described compressed wood product manufacturing method. The compressed wooden product 3 shown in the figure corresponds to the main plate portion 21 of the blank 2, corresponds to the flat plate main plate portion 31 having a substantially rectangular main surface, and the side plate portion 22, and the main plate from the periphery of the main plate portion 31. And a side plate portion 32 that is curved and extends in an oblique direction with respect to the portion 31. The side plate portion 32 has a first side plate portion 32a and a second side plate portion 32b corresponding to the first side plate portion 22a and the second side plate portion 22b of the blank material 2, respectively. The compressed wood product 3 has a smaller volume than the blank material 2 before the compression step, and has a box shape different from that of the blank material 2.

また、圧縮木製品3の繊維方向は、主板部31の主面と略平行であり、かつ主面上で該主面の外縁をなす略長方形の四辺とそれぞれ交差している。このことにより、第1側板部32aおよび第2側板部32bに適切な強度が付与される。なお、第1側板部32aおよび第2側板部32bに同程度の強度が付与されるためには、この交差する角度が、30度以上60度以下であることが望ましい。   In addition, the fiber direction of the compressed wooden product 3 is substantially parallel to the main surface of the main plate portion 31 and intersects the substantially rectangular four sides forming the outer edge of the main surface on the main surface. As a result, appropriate strength is imparted to the first side plate portion 32a and the second side plate portion 32b. In order to provide the first side plate portion 32a and the second side plate portion 32b with similar strength, it is desirable that the intersecting angle is 30 degrees or more and 60 degrees or less.

図11は、圧縮木製品3の適用例であるデジタルカメラの外装体の構成を示す斜視図である。同図に示す外装体4は、デジタルカメラの前面側(被写体と対向する側)を外装するものであり、圧縮木製品3の主板部31、側板部32(第1側板部32a、第2側板部32b)にそれぞれ対応する主板部41、側板部42(第1側板部42a、第2側板部42b)を備える。主板部41は、デジタルカメラの撮像部を表出する円筒形状の開口部411と、デジタルカメラのフラッシュを表出する直方体形状の開口部412とを有する。第1側板部42aは、シャッターボタンを表出する半円筒形状の切り欠き421を有する。   FIG. 11 is a perspective view illustrating a configuration of an exterior body of a digital camera that is an application example of the compressed wooden product 3. The exterior body 4 shown in the figure is an exterior body on the front side (the side facing the subject) of the digital camera, and includes a main plate portion 31 and a side plate portion 32 (first side plate portion 32a, second side plate portion) of the compressed wood product 3. 32b) includes a main plate portion 41 and side plate portions 42 (first side plate portion 42a and second side plate portion 42b). The main plate 41 has a cylindrical opening 411 that exposes the imaging unit of the digital camera, and a rectangular parallelepiped opening 412 that exposes the flash of the digital camera. The first side plate portion 42a has a semi-cylindrical cutout 421 that exposes the shutter button.

図12は、外装体4によって前面側が外装されるデジタルカメラの外観構成を示す斜視図である。同図に示すデジタルカメラ301は、撮像部302と、フラッシュ303と、シャッターボタン304とを有する。撮像部302およびフラッシュ303が表出するデジタルカメラ301の前面側は、外装体4によって外装される。一方、デジタルカメラ301の背面側は、圧縮木製品3を用いて外装体4と同様に形成される外装体5によって外装される。このように、本実施の形態に係る圧縮木製品を、デジタルカメラの外装体として適用する場合には、肉厚が1.0〜1.6mm程度となるようにすれば好ましい。加えて、最終形状の湾曲部分の外周側および内周側の曲率半径に相当する図6のRA、RBは、ともに10mm以下であればより好ましい。   FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing an external configuration of a digital camera whose front side is externally covered by the exterior body 4. A digital camera 301 shown in FIG. 1 includes an imaging unit 302, a flash 303, and a shutter button 304. The front side of the digital camera 301 where the imaging unit 302 and the flash 303 are exposed is covered by the exterior body 4. On the other hand, the back side of the digital camera 301 is covered with an exterior body 5 that is formed in the same manner as the exterior body 4 using the compressed wood product 3. Thus, when the compressed wood product according to the present embodiment is applied as an exterior body of a digital camera, it is preferable that the wall thickness is about 1.0 to 1.6 mm. In addition, RA and RB in FIG. 6 corresponding to the curvature radii on the outer peripheral side and the inner peripheral side of the curved portion of the final shape are more preferably 10 mm or less.

以上説明した本発明の一実施の形態によれば、略長方形の主面を有する平板状の主板部21と、主板部21の周縁から主板部21に対して斜め方向に湾曲して延在し、周回する開口端面を有する側板部22とを備えた箱状をなし、木材の繊維方向Lが、主板部21の主面と略平行であり、かつ主面上で該主面の外縁をなす略長方形の四辺(二つの長辺21a、二つの短辺21b)とそれぞれ交差するブランク材2を圧縮成形しているため、ブランク材2の中で隣接して延びる繊維同士が、圧縮時の曲げ応力によって剥がれにくくなっている。したがって、開口を有する箱状のブランク材2を圧縮成形する際に割れを発生することがなく、成形後に適切な強度を付与することが可能となる。   According to the embodiment of the present invention described above, the flat main plate portion 21 having a substantially rectangular main surface, and the main plate portion 21 is curved and extends in an oblique direction with respect to the main plate portion 21 from the periphery. And a side plate portion 22 having an opening end surface that circulates, and the fiber direction L of the wood is substantially parallel to the main surface of the main plate portion 21 and forms the outer edge of the main surface on the main surface. Since the blank material 2 that intersects each of the substantially rectangular four sides (two long sides 21a and two short sides 21b) is compression-molded, the fibers extending adjacent to each other in the blank material 2 are bent during compression. It is difficult to peel off due to stress. Therefore, cracking does not occur when the box-shaped blank 2 having an opening is compression-molded, and appropriate strength can be imparted after molding.

なお、本発明に係る圧縮木製品は、主板部と側板部との境界外周部を湾曲させる代わりに面取りを施してもよい。特に、デジタルカメラの外装体として適用する場合には、面取り部分の幅を10mm以下とするのが好ましい。   The compressed wood product according to the present invention may be chamfered instead of curving the boundary outer peripheral portion between the main plate portion and the side plate portion. In particular, when applied as an exterior body of a digital camera, the width of the chamfered portion is preferably 10 mm or less.

また、本発明に係る圧縮木製品は、デジタルカメラ以外の電子機器用外装体としても適用可能である。また、本発明に係る圧縮木製品は、例えば食器、各種筐体、建材などにも適用可能である。   The compressed wood product according to the present invention can also be applied as an exterior body for electronic equipment other than a digital camera. The compressed wood product according to the present invention is also applicable to tableware, various cases, building materials, and the like.

このように、本発明は、ここでは記載していない様々な実施の形態等を含みうるものであり、特許請求の範囲により特定される技術的思想を逸脱しない範囲内において種々の設計変更等を施すことが可能である。   Thus, the present invention can include various embodiments and the like not described herein, and various design changes and the like can be made without departing from the technical idea specified by the claims.
